Hico made some many cheap styli just to let people buy something for their old cheap cartridges. JICO SAS is extremely expensive profile and not available for all cartridges. I think it’s better to invest in original design and to fidn a genuine stylus if the price difference between original and JIC SAS is not big. As far as I know SAS is not available for Stanton/Pickering. Look for original Stereohedron. BTW the price you have mentioned from someone else for XSV/5000 is a fair price in my opinion. If the XSV/3000 is something like $350 then each next upper model is +$200 at least (and there are XLZ4500, XSV/5000, XLZ/7500). 

Dear @anthonya :  Due that the Stanton caNTILEVER/STYLUS HOLDER IS WAY RESONANT BECAUSE  it don't rest in the cartridge body tight as shouldbe then the best Stanton ever is the 981 with a Pickering top original cantilever/stylus holder that even in its constructionis way more solid that the Stanton one and additional to that it rest tight inside the 981. No one Stanton/Pickering can beats it.

I know that because I own the 981 and Pickering too and I tested in that way to see what happens and you know what: there is no return, outstanding quality performance levels. I posted this more than one time in the MM long thread.

OK Raul thanks.
